An Overview of PIM Configurations Flavors Technology Flavors

“Fridge” PIM • • Up to 16, 384 Cells 60 Hz FIXED frame rate Real-time Expensive! - to start - to expand • No longer sold Bus. Link™ Flavors

“Rocket” PIM Rocket Card(s) • • • Mac. Bus = PIMbus 60 Hz - 30 Hz variable frame rate Real-time Multiple PIM system via TCP/IP 1 K Cells Max Reliability based on status of Macintosh Nu. Bus • No longer sold Flavors

Power. PIM VME-PPC boards TCP/IP • Mac. Bus & VMEbus isolated • 8 K Cell Max • TCP/IP via Ethernet • Real-time • 60/30/15 Hz frame rates • Multiple PIM system via TCP/IP • Ideal for hard real-time, mission critical applications Flavors

NT-PIM (Standalone & Runtime) BOTH CONFIGURATIONS: • “Any” frame rate • “Any” number of cells • “Real-time” Or…. Standalone Platform: • Navigator and PIM run on the same platform TCP/IP Runtime Platform: • Navigator on Mac or PC • Connect to NT-PIM via TCP/IP Flavors

System Components 1. The Paracell Navigator Environment Paracell compiler, debug, programming 2. PIM Runtime Environment Run cells and execute tiles 3. Human/Machine Interface Display PIM data execution Accepts operator input Flavors

Key Enhancements • • • “Soft. PIM” (NT-PIM) Variable Frame Rates New Paracell Compiler Floating Point Human/Machine Interface – Soft. Scope – Para. Scope • I/O via TCP/IP or Device. Net™ Flavors
